Victims (novel)

"Victims" is the title of a novel by Travis Jeppesen. The book was selected by Dennis Cooper to debut his "Little House on the Bowery" series for Akashic Books in 2003. The novel was subsequently published in Russian by Eksmo.

Overview

"Victims" is ostensibly about the final days of a UFO religious cult loosely based on Heaven's Gate. In fact, the novel utilizes a heavily fragmented narrative to tell numerous related stories in an imaginary small town in the United States called Monkhole.
